I enjoyed the bit where she said nobody represented her in American politics but that she would immediately move to DC, nine months pregnant, to work for Tucker Carlson, if he decided to run.

Right, I think things can be better than they are, but I also think there's something to what they're saying in that you can't go back, circumstances have changed, technologies have changed, resources are different and depleting, flaws have been shown in the previous structures.

my dad was a truck driver, never earned much but was able to buy a plot of land, build a house, and support a family with three kids. that's not possible now, even in the areas with the lowest real estate values and cost of living. nothing any politician or party can do will make that possible again, and it's not realistic to think they can. I hate to dismiss any entire segment of the population, but they're living in fantasy land. they aren't dumb, just searching for hope, so much so that they're willing to suspend logic.

and that's what makes Fox News so contemptible: they encourage the fantasy for purposes of ratings and profitability. they laugh all the way to the bank.

There's a theory that the "real world" in The Matrix, the one where Neo can manipulate the sentinels, is actually just another layer designed for those who rejected the first. That's increasingly how I view anything supposedly radical, theory etc. Another layer of the same thing for the people who think they've got it figured out. It doesn't matter to Amazon whether you're buying Marvel or Baudrillard, just that you're buying.
